Africa Day

May 25th, is what is known as Africa Day, the annual commemoration of the 1963 founding of the Organisation of African Unity (OAU).
On this day, leaders of 30 of the 32 independent African states signed a founding charter in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.

In 1991, the OAU established the African Economic Community, and in 2002 the OAU established its own successor, the African Union. However, the name and date of Africa Day has been retained as a celebration of African unity

It is a day to reflect on the big picture about Africa and the future of the continent. Are we for real or are we clowns on a stage, whose only place in the world is to entertain, amuse and stir up worry and guilt among the major world powers?
